Here's A Awsome Story For You All...

OK so I decided that i would sell my banana king right.. Sold it for 150.00.. guy wasn't to smart I'm guessing ... well any who the night after he bought it his sister lets it out and off it goes never to be seen again.. I go over to his apartment and search for it for like 2 1/2 hours.. I don't find it.. This was a week ago.. Well i keep calling him like every day.. Have you found Chiquita? He's like no I haven't.. I didn't give up hope he'd find it.. Well I go to the LP here theres like 5 them here (it's a big city) well I needed to go to get ferret food... Well I get there and my friend David is there.. I tell him I sold my King Snake for 150.00 and the guy loses him... He's like were at he lose him at? I told him in his apartment behind Burger King.. He now says a lady just dropped off a banana king 2 days ago that she found in her apartment.. I'm like 99.9% sure it Chiquita.. He's like before you can take him describe a marking on him you would only know and no one else.. I'm like well where his cloaca would be I'm guessing (the thing he poops out of) is a purple marking that goes down his tail almost to the tip of it.. He looks and sure enough it's Chiquita!!!!! .. Well i then tell him how do i get him back now? He's like we dint give anything for him so you can have him back.. David was holding him and when Chiquita saw me it litterly jumped from his hands to my shoulder..( do they reanize there owners?) I then call my husband and thinks I'm kidding and I then call the guy I sold him to (only because it's the right thing to do) and tell him I now have Chiquita back.. He's all like I don't want him anymore you can have him.. I'm like what about the 150..00? He all like keep it.. So I'm keeping him till his life is over.. He Is now one of my favos.. So now we have the snake back and 150.00 free.. I'm still can't be leave that happened.. I gave Him 2 rat pups and he's happer then before lol...

WOW one lucky snake and lucky you!!! I definately like to think that snakeys know their owners. My old Ribbon Steve used to be the perfect snake to me ... but when I handed him to other people he'd always get scatty

That is a cool story!! What great luck for you and Chiquita!!
I notice Deejay is not as laid back when other people try to handle her, either. They must get to know our scent, and recognize it, because she'll jump out of someone else's hands to me just like yours did!
